"Try again Hibiki." Sasame said to the irritated princess.
"You make me try again." she said pushing him.
"Oh no..." Kairi said to Hajime.
"Here they go again." Mamoru said to Shin and sat down so she could watch what was about to happen.
Yukiko laughed and leaned against a tree. "Sasame's 'bout to get his ass kicked again."
"I give up," Sasame told Hibiki. "Your mother told me to help you, but you're going to behave this way, then I quit."
"I'm surprised she asked for help for any one but Wendy." Hibiki said crossing her arms. "All she cares about is Wendy."
"I'm sure that's not true." Sasame told her.
"Oh it's true." Kairi said. "Wendy is the oldest and moms favorite."
Yukiko nodded in agreement. "That's why she's such a wimp. She didn't have to take care of herself like the rest of us did."
"Miss-goodie-two-shoes didn't ever gent in trouble for anything." Mamoru said softly but bitterly. "Mom always took her side."
Hibiki looked at her youngest sister, the little girl she had raised. She had seen the way Mamoru looked at her mother and Wendy, she saw the hurt and betrayal on her face, just because Wendy was the oldest.
She never gave any of her other kids any recognition no matter what they did.
Hibiki walked over and picked up Mamoru, kissing her forehead. "Come on, I'll take you to the garden." she took Mamoru away from her training and Mamoru laid her head on her sisters shoulder, staying silent.
Shin was about to follow but Yukiko pulled him back. "I wouldn't do that." she said.
"Why not?" Sasame asked.
"It's sort of an unwritten rule." Kairi said. "Whenever Hibiki takes Mamoru somewhere, we wait until they come back."
"We never go looking for them." Yukiko said ruffling Shin's blonde hair. "She'll be fine."
"Why don't you ever go looking?" Mannen asked.
"One," Yukiko said "Hibiki did raise Mamoru, so we have no right to go looking and take her away."
"And two," Kairi told him "we're scared to death of her."
"I can understand that." Sasame mumbled.
"Mother wont be happy about this 'Kiko." Kairi sang
"To hell with Mother Kai." Yukiko sang back

Later:
"Have you found them yet?" Ryo asked Goh, frantic.
"Not yet," he replied. "Keep looking."
"Mother's not gonna like this." Wendy said looking in high Places for Hibiki.
"Shut up, Wendy!" Haya yelled. "Right now, our sister are missing, and all you can think about is what mother likes and dislikes?"
"Really, you two." Takako said. "Now is not the time to fight."
"I can't believe you just let them go!" Ryo whined. "We're gonna be in so much trouble! It's getting so dark!"
"No!" Yukiko said with her hands on her hips. "Sasame is gonna be the one in trouble! He was supposed to be watching us, it's not our assess on the line it's his!"
At that moment, Kairi, Haya, and Ryo stopped what they were doing.
"That's true." Haya said grinning
"Good cause I'm tired." Kairi Yawned.
"I can't believe you lost them Sasame!" Ryo cried.
"This isn't my fault." Sasame said defending himself. "Yukiko was the one who said not to go after them, Kairi too."
"Oh, now you're gonna blame it on the babies." Haya said smartly. "Real nice."
Sasame was about ready to hang himself.
"We should tell mother." Wendy stated.
"As much as I hate to say this..." Yukiko said quietly "Wendy's r-r-r-r..."
"Right?" Ryo finished for her, Yukiko nodded rapidly.
"Why is that so hard to say?" Wendy asked.
"Because," Yukiko said with ease and a big smile on her face. "I don't like you."
